Turn 5% into a decimal which is 0.05, then multiply by 2.95 = 0.1475
round it off, which is 0.15
so $0.15 is the tax and if ur looking for the total price then add $2.95 to $0.15

Hal earns n dollars per hour. Next month he

xenn [34]

Answer:

$Total = 1.02n$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Earnings = n$

$Raise = 2\%$ --- <em>not 296</em>

$Total = n + 0.02n$

Required

Simplify the expression for total earning

The total amount is derived from:

$Total = Earnings + Raise * Earnings$

$Total = n + 2\% * n$

Express percentage as decimal

$Total = n + 0.02 * n$

Now, we can solve further:

$Total = n + 0.02n$

$Total = 1.02n$

<em>Hence, the simplified expression is 1.02n</em>
